Fan Bleach knows all about the multitude of powers that Ichigo has had over the years, but he has never even tried the technique known as Kido. While some of his close friends like Rukia and Yoruichi are very well versed in this particular skill and it is taught to all Shinigami as standard procedure, Ichigo passed without the use of attacks. work based on this magic.
Kido is a type of magic used for both defense (Bakudo) and attack (Hado) by the Soul Reaper. It can act as a medium of ranged attack for those whose Zanpakuto prefers melee, can restrain opponents, and can even be used for healing. Kido’s magic is activated by chanting a spell, but advanced students can cast some spells just by shouting their name. Although Kido is the standard for all Shinigami, some use it more than others. However, despite its undeniable utility, Ichigo didn’t try to figure it out at any point, but there could be a simple reason why.
Ichigo doesn’t have a chance to master Kido, but he doesn’t need it
Ever since Ichigo became a Shinigami, disaster after disaster has plagued the Soul Society. Faced with dangerous enemies, Ichigo focuses on enhancing the abilities he already has, rather than trying to learn more. It is said that Kido is difficult to learn and master, and it certainly involves memorizing a lot of mantras and the like. Not only was it not Ichigo’s forte, but it was a skill that took a long time to master. For most Shinigami, they have had decades, if not centuries, to learn this ability, while Ichigo has only been a Shinigami for a few years by the end of the series.
Even putting that matter aside, Ichigo probably wouldn’t use much Kido even if he could. His Getsuga Tensho attack struck from quite a distance, and he would likely consider immobilizing his opponent as unfair. Ichigo always enjoys fair, one-on-one matches with his enemies, even when they don’t reciprocate. If Yoruichi feels that Kido will help him, she will almost certainly teach him that, since she herself is a master at it and uses it so much that she never pulls out her Zanpakutō. his knife. Instead, Yoruichi worked on Ichigo’s existing strengths, which seemed like the right call for his training.
While the idea of adding Kido’s spells to Ichigo’s bag of tricks is an appealing idea to some fans, the fact of the matter is that it’s just not his style. It also allows other characters to excel in this area without having to worry about Ichigo overshadowing them. It’s OK Bleach will never see Ichigo’s master Kido, because he simply doesn’t need it.
